TOP BEST SKATES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS IN 2021

Boys and girls love to skate. In a year as complicated as 2020, children were one of the groups that had the hardest time not being able to enjoy outdoor activities for a few months. Fortunately everything has been getting back to normal in this 2021 and that has been noticed, and a lot, in the sales of inline skates and 4-wheeled skates.

Whether with skateboarding moms and dads or within families with no skating experience, skates have been one of the most coveted items this 2021 and one that has caused the most supply issues.

Here we show you the skates that have been most successful among the smallest of the house.

WHY BUY SKATES FOR GIRLS OR GIRLS OF RECOGNIZED BRANDS?

If you have reached this article, you need advice on how to buy skates for your daughter or son. Your first temptation was probably to go to a shopping mall and buy the first skates that fit your budget. However, there are many factors that make it advisable to buy brand name skates. The first thing is the quality of the product. A good brand of skates devotes a lot of effort in having a quality product and guarantees. In our experience, the same skate of a good brand, can last much longer than one of a large surface white brand. In other words, even though skates from large stores are usually cheaper, they last much less time than brand-name skates. This allows, for example, that the same skate can be “inherited” between siblings, which is a great saving in the medium term.

On the other hand, we have demonstrated that the better the components of a skate, the faster and better the skater learns to skate, which means that the child becomes more fond of skating and has more desire to skate.

Finally, there is the ease of finding spare parts. The major skating brands are concerned about having a stock of spare parts for their skate models. On the other hand, the skates of large department stores are skates mass-produced in China without the slightest concern for spare parts.

If you still have doubts, we advise you to take a look at our BUYING GUIDE OF SKATES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

We also advise you to watch the following video in which our CEO and father of two skateboarders, advises us on which skates to buy:
